Do you go sledding all the time in the winter?

Just because we have snow for most of the year does not mean that we go sledding all the time. It is just like if you live by a beach that does not mean you go almost every day. I normally go sledding a couple times a year and it is always a lot of fun. The difference about sledding in Alaska is that instead of sledding down hills you can go down mountains. This makes everything so much more exciting. With my youth group every February we go to a mountain pass called Hatchers Pass. They drive us to the top of one of the mountains and we sled down. Some parts were so steep that I started going way too fast so I would purposely fall off the sled to stop. It would take us like 30 minutes to get down the mountain and a van would be waiting for us at the bottom to bring us back up. It is so much fun, the next day it is almost guaranteed that you will be sore, but it is definitely worth it.
